o months ago, my friends and I visited another Bib Gourmand restaurant in Madrid called La Monteria. Everytime we meet up, we try a new Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant just to compare and see which ones we would return to. Here in La Monteria, we ordered the Classic Menu which was 42 euros each. With drinks, we paid around 45 euros each.
Tepic is a Mexican restaurant with really nice interiors. Most Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurants in Madrid that I've seen are actually on the smaller side in terms of how big the restaurant is, and Tepic was no exception. The flavor of the food makes up for the smallness of the area. Tepic also has an outdoor terraza located in the corner of a street (but not exactly in front of the restaurant). We chose to sit inside the restaurant - good thing too because it rained in the middle of our meal.
La Maruca Velasquez has a really nice location, right smack in the middle of Barrio Salamanca, though their restaurant was a little bit downstairs. It had really nice interiors, but you were given a 1.5-hour window to order and finish everything. In fairness to them, we stayed more than 1.5 hours but they didn’t even ask us to leave.
A few months ago, my friends and I ate in a Michelin One Star Restaurant in Madrid called La Tasqueria. Since this happened around six months ago, I don't really remember what we ate, but I have pictures of it. All I remember is that the food was good and it was worth it.
We are here to review Taberna Recreo Espartinas, a 2021 Michelin Madrid Bib Gourmand Restaurant. To know more about their restaurant, here's a link to their website with their menu: Taberna Recreo Espartinas Website.
La calle que alberga a Treze es la del General Pardiñas; visto desde fuera te transmite la sensación de lugar modesto sin grandes pretensiones. Nos dieron la opción de elegir entre el menú del día (que ronda los 15 euros por comensal) o pedir a la carte; un día es un día y optamos a la carte y así tener acceso a una mayor diversidad de sabrosos alimentos.
Treze, a Michelin Madrid Bib Gourmand Restaurant, is in Calle General Pardinas, and outside, it's quite an unassuming place. You can eat out in the terraza or inside. Inside, they have an area if you're gonna eat menu del dia (which is available during lunch only and around 14 euros per person) or if you decide to eat a la carte, they will seat you in another area. Since we're trying the food, we are doing a la carte.
